Leo Santa Cruz overcomes Jose Cayetano on points

Mexican Leo Santa Cruz defeats Jose Cayetano on points in his first appearance at featherweight.

Leo Santa Cruz has marked his debut at featherweight with a points win against Jose Cayetano at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

The undefeated Mexican, who currently possesses the WBC super-bantamweight title, was expected to make a statement against Cayetano, but the underdog made him work for the win.

Each round followed a similar pattern as Santa Cruz went on the offensive looking for the stoppage, but Cayetano was durable and never looked in trouble during the 10-round contest.

All three judges scored the fight 100-90 in favour of Santa Cruz, but his lack of punch power at his new weight class may be cause for concern going forward.
